Through the process we can modify nearly all debt, including 1st Mortgages, to the market value of the property. Also, the individual debtor keeps their property and pays back very little of the debt owed. If you own multiple properties this is a great opportunity to make a property that is “under water” or “upside down” and make it even with the market and most likely make it cash flow positive.

There are successes that occur from near or apparent failure. At the verge of the brink of failure lies opportunities to succeed. Do not go into shutdown without a free consultation with our experienced chapter 11 Business bankruptcy and reorganization attorneys at Piet & Wright.
